Gearheart Communications state-reach reading
Gearheart Communications opens on geographic reach: #108 of 2,138 filers by states with filings (3 states), with 2,238 records behind that footprint.
Among 2,138 Form 477 providers on this site, Gearheart Communications sits in the upper third by record volume (≥ 2,064). Large books usually mean many census blocks marked served, not that every block has active subscribers.
Kentucky alone accounts for 91.0% of Gearheart Communications's filings (2,036 of 2,238), a concentrated book where one state can swing the national picture. Form 477 historically let providers mark a whole census block from a single reachable address; treat these counts as declared capability, not address-level availability, speed, or price.
